  • Publication number: 20250042753
    Abstract: A system comprising a hydrogen source and a nitrogen source. A hydrogen compression unit compresses hydrogen from the hydrogen source. An ammonia synthesis unit fluidly coupled to the hydrogen compression unit and to the nitrogen source compresses a hydrogen and nitrogen blend which is delivered to the ammonia synthesis unit. In use, a seal gas feed line delivers compressed hydrogen to dry gas seals of the hydrogen compressor and a separation gas feed line delivers nitrogen to the at least one dry gas seal. The ammonia synthesis unit is fluidly coupled to vents of the dry gas seals, to receive and process compressed hydrogen from the hydrogen compression unit, nitrogen from the nitrogen source and gas venting from the dry gas seals.

  • Patent number: 12215708
    Abstract: The rotor comprises a plurality of rotor segments arranged axially adjacent to one another. A tie rod extends through the rotor segments. Opposed first and second locking members arranged at the axial ends of the tie rod lock the rotor segments to one another and to the tie rod. At least one intermediate support member is arranged in an intermediate position between the two axial ends of the tie rod and between the tie rod and one of the rotor segments.

  • Publication number: 20210293243
    Abstract: The compression train (13) for a dehydrogenation plant (1) comprises a driver (36) and a single centrifugal compressor (35) drivingly coupled to the driver. The centrifugal compressor comprises a single casing and a plurality of compressor sections (39.1, 39.2, 39.3) inside said casing (37). Each compressor section comprises at least one impeller (40.1, 40.2) arranged for rotation in the casing (37). The compressor (35) is adapted to compress a mixture containing propane, propylene and hydrogen, having a molecular weight between 20 and 35 g/mol, from a suction pressure between about 0.2 barA and about 1.5 barA to a delivery pressure between about 11 barA and about 20 barA, with a volumetric flowrate comprised between about 120,000 m3/h and about 950,000 m3/h.

  • Patent number: 10809000
    Abstract: Compression train for a natural gas liquefaction process. The compression train includes a driver machine and only one centrifugal compressor machine driven in rotation by the driver machine; the compressor is configured to compress a refrigerant gas with a molecular weight less than 30 g/mol from a suction pressure to a discharge pressure; the ratio between discharge and suction pressures is higher than 10. A LNG plant including a compression train.
